The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a 10-item questionnaire that was developed to identify women who have postpartum depression.[1] Items of the scale correspond to various clinical depressionsymptoms, such as guilt feeling, sleep disturbance, low energy, anhedonia, and suicidal ideation. Overall assessment is done by total score, which is determined by adding together the scores for each of the 10 items. Higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms.[2] The EPDS may be used within 8 weeks postpartum and it also can be applied for depression screening during pregnancy.[3]
